CNN is trash. It is not a news network at all, and should be sued into oblivion.
On the panel discussion with Abby Philip, a young and impulsive Democrat "analyst" twice accused President Donald Trump of being a participant in a global sex trafficking ring, and CNN almost let the claim slide. In fact, the host of the panel tried to pivot away from the claim until Scott Jennings pinned him down.

Tried to memory-hole it.
โฃโฃโฃThatโs when Jennings stepped in.

โฃโฃโฃIf Scott Jennings hadnโt stepped in, that clip would already be Exhibit A in a courtroom.
โฃโฃโฃThis is what happens when activism cosplay replaces journalism.
โฃโฃโฃThis is why adults still need to be in the room.
โฃโฃโฃAnd this is why โ๐ซ๐ถ๐ด๐ต ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ต ๐ฉ๐ช๐ฎ ๐ต๐ข๐ญ๐ฌโ is not a journalism standard.
This is not journalism. This is not even remotely responsible. This is, in fact, propaganda and defamation, and the only reason why John Berman even conceded that the claim was questionable is that Scott Jennings called him on it.
Abby Philip regularly disputes any criticism, however fair, of Democrats, but John Berman was willing to allow a defamatory comment just sit there and even distract from it until he was called on it.
1. You knew exactly what you were doing.

2. You did it intentionally.
3. This weak walk back isnโt fooling anyone & doesnโt absolve you of any legal jeopardy.
4. You only put this out because of real fear that you & your employer will be sued.
5. Iโll bet if your employer is suedโฆ
Cameron Kasky's accusation was clearly pre-planned, though he has sinceโon X, where no liberals will see itโapologized and claimed he said it by accident.
Yeah, right. This is called legal ass covering.

Watch that exchange. Did he say that by accident? Twice?
Yeah, uh, no. The whole point was to drop it on TV, apologize online and in writing, where it has much less impact.
Some people are giving CNN credit for admitting that Trump has "not been charged," as if that is sufficient. But I don't. Scott Jennings had to push hard to even get that, and it wasn't even weak tea. Pathetic.
Cameron Kasky gets on CNN and thinks itโs the perfect time to pretend heโs a Bluesky moderator

Good for Scott Jennings checking that punk ass bitch https://t.co/aXWQQdGwzI
CNN has to bring on lefties like Cameron, put him up against dishonest leftists like Abby Philip, because he is so much better and smarter than everybody else on that panel. They want to rattle him because he is unrattleable.
It's a tactic that doesn't work with moderates or conservatives, but it fires up the base, which is the point.
